Bale needs to start and get up to match fitness asap so play him along with vinicius and Lucas and throw in dele behind them. The rest I don't care.

Too early imo. You could see Bale gasping after air when he dribbled past the West Ham defenders and placing his shot on the outside. Nurse him into shape.

For the LASK game I’d like to see

Hart
Doherty Toby Rogan Davies
Hoy-beer winks
Moura Alli Lamela
Kane

Main thing for me is to see Rodon at the back after our defence today, with aerial ability at the back saved for Burnley so:

Hart
Aurier Sanchez Rodon Reguilon
Winks Gedson
Dele
Bergwijn Vinicius Moura

So then away to Burnley :

Lloris
Doherty Toby Dier Davies
Hojbjerg Sissoko
Ndombele
Bale Kane Son

Rodon can't play in the Europa, not registered for the group phase. Oh and neither is Gedson.

Why am I seeing Kane in some teams o_O

Did we buy a 2nd striker for these type of matches or am I just imagining things?

Yeah it's madness. It's the first game of an incredibly generous group stage, if there's any time we can afford to rest the likes of Ndombele, Kane and Son it's Thursday.

Have Kane, Bale, Son, Ndombele and LoCelso on the bench in case.

Not sure on the fitness of Dier, Lamela or LoCelso.

No other option at CB at the moment, Hopefully it's Dier and Rodin at the weekend. Not going 3 at the back as it's just another CB to make an error...

Give him 30mis mid week to help build it up. It will also depend on how his body reacts to yesterday's game. He might be on a slower recovery so this might be just too quick a turn around.
But if he is fit to start, then a 60min run out would be amazing.

Id liek to say lets put a strong team out win it in the first half then sub a few off ready for Burnley - but given that we cant even win a game at 3-0 with 8 mins remaining - what chance do we have of resting anyone

Id play Bale as he needs the mins. Id play Kane and Son/Lamela/Lucas. Id take a couple of them off after an hour dependent on where we are and put on Vinicius.

As for midfield and defence - fuck knows

Bale needs to start. Assuming that Lamela, Dier, Lo Celso and Tanganga are not fit, I'd go for:

Hart
Doherty Alderweireld Davies Cirkin
Winks White
Dele
Bale Vinicius Moura​

I'm surprised people putting Hojberg in their teams. Everyone does realise he's the only recognised viable DM that we have?

Otherwise we're back to Sissoko/Winks double pivot, which I don't think anyone wants to see in the league.

I don't want to see it in any game... Probably why Hojbjerg will make most teams on here for the rest of the season.

Pretty sure we can get through our group with Winks/Sissoko in the middle, we don't even need to play well to get out of the group.

My point is, he’s clearly not match fit yet and should be nursed into fitness. He was basically gasping for breath after his raid against West Ham, so a good 20-25 mins against LASK is a good way to start

Well, we get to name 12 players to the bench and use 5 subs a game in the Europa League.

I'd start with

Hart
Doherty, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Davies
Winks, Højbjerg
Dele
Bale, Kane, Lucas

Hopefully, we take a resounding lead in the first half and take off Kane, PEH and Toby during the 2nd half.​

Yes 3-0 with 10 mins to go should do it ?
